North Georgia News

The North Georgia News is one of the highest-circulation weekly newspapers in North Georgia. It covers Blairsville, Georgia, and Union County.

The newspaper launched in 1909. Its first publisher was F.A. Miller.

The North Georgia News was preceded by the Blairsville Free Press which was started by J.A. Butt Jr., and The Blairsville Herald which was published by Quillian & Wellborn. Both newspapers began in 1892 and ceased publication in an unknown year.

From 2001 until 2012, the North Georgia News faced competition from the Union Sentinel. Today the North Georgia News is the only newspaper printed in the county.
